Take a few quiet minutes with your journal to think about these thoughts and jot down your reflections. Periodically add to your ideas.

Before beginning the reading and journaling, spend time breathing evenly to center your body-mind: breathe in counts 1, 2; breathe out counts 3, 4; breathe in counts 1, 2 and continue for a minute.

Thoughts for reflection on how to benefit our world family

What could we be doing?

If we were born to set our souls free, then caring and strong 'wings of love' will help us fly high!

Developing 'wings of love' gives us power to use earth's offerings wisely, efficiently, for the benefit of the greatest good.

Kindness - 'wings of love' - envelopes us in a spiraling circle of warmth, because as we give, we receive a vibrant energy swelling up in our body from within, sparking our kind actions.

And importantly, the energy of 'wings of love' motivates us to take good care of ourselves, so that we are fit to act on kind intentions.
